@nprofile1q... I haven't been carrying a smart phone for a year or so now[1]. I keep a smart phone with a broken blank screen and LineageOS on my desk at home, and use it like a land-line phone basically, if people call me and I'm not there, I'm not answering. In the few cases where there's a bank or government process that requires a smart phone app, I use scrcpy over adb to control the phone from my desktop computer. Away from my desk, I'm 100% offline. I plan my trips before hand, use pencil and paper to draw rough maps and take notes, and carry a little notebook with important names and phone numbers in it in case of an emergency. If I'm lost I roam and use my intuition to explore, or, as a last resort I ask people for directions.

[1]: and for three or four years before that too, but I did carry a phone for five years or so in between.
